Howzat – Pakistan’s first online cricket game
I talk cricket, I walk cricket and sometimes I even play cricket. I have played many online cricket games but few days back my friend told me about Howzat.com . This is the first online cricket game made by Pakistani students. This reminded me of my childhood memories; same energy, same passion and same finger biting moments.
Now let me give you some feedback on the game:
Graphics
First thing which attracts any gamer towards the game is graphics and I must say that “boys have done well” in this area. You can feel your presence in the field. So very realistic bowling action; batting with six, four, ones and twos.
Game play
Now you must be thinking that since it’s a realistic game so obviously controls must be hard so let me tell you that it’s the easiest cricket game I have ever played.
In batting there are just two combinations you have to deal with. For ground shots press and hold ”Z” key and for hitting the ball in any direction press the direction hey (like for hitting the ball straight press Z + down arrow hey). If you want to hit six; press X key with combination of any arrow key.
Bowling is also very easy. Just press Z key to mark amount of swing/spin and again press Z key to control the phase of the ball.
You can also practice in the nets and make yourself familiar with the shots to play with particular deliveries.
Strategy
The best thing about this game is that you can set your own strategy. You can change bowlers; you can set your customized team for effective game play. There is also an option of auto-play which enables auto-play bowling/batting and this will give you chance to make tea or coffee for yourself.
Conclusion
One more innovation which I loved is that you can also chat with the other user while playing. So very interesting; you can also bride the other user haha….
This game clearly shows that we Pakistani’s have full potential to move on with the world, to make new innovations and we know how to utilize our potential very well.
A complete package of fun, enjoyment and time pass. Play it and you’ll love it.
Great Review, looking forward to playing this game. No mention of the students names or what school they represent…. ?
@Salman Khan

Thank you for a nice review, let me correct few small mistakes made in the review. This game wasnt developed by students but a company called Game Ventures. Most of the team consists of Pakistanis but it wasnt entirely developed by us. For more details you can visit the blog listed in the footer of the game’s website.
You might wonder how is this info authentic, so let me introduce myself. I am Arif Kamal Zaidi, the creative head of the company that built this game.
Love you all, peace!
